Hello,
New here
I just found myself a pair of Kef 102/2s and some some APM 121es s for free! Neither are perfect but the sonys are at least functional.
The Kefs are missing the mid/tweeter uni q combo which according to kef, have the serial numbers: B160 midrange unit (SP1269), NT19 tweeter (SP1352)
This doesn't seem to be a very common unit but there are plenty of other 4O B160 units eg:
These are the closest thing I can find, complete with correct surrounds:
They are from the kef 105/3, same series, vintage, design, impedence, fittings, etc.
Tweeters are the same, not sure if there's much difference if any in the rest... Could anyone enlighten me?
Cheap solution would be to throw a pair of 4O coaxial car speakers in them but that seems a bit tasteless...
Anyway any help on how to get them going would be appreciated.
Should I drop any uniq in them? or just split and sell for parts? or pay 200 Canoodian dollars for something that's almost but not quite the right part
Cheers
